Deep River County Park in Hobart, Indiana hosted a woodland tea party with story time, offering families a blend of storytelling and nature education. The event, organized by Lake County Parks, invited participants of all ages to enjoy tea, listen to stories, and learn about local wildlife in a vibrant outdoor setting. Families were greeted by Caryn Corriere, environmental education manager at Lake County Parks, who guided the group through the park.
The walk began at the back of the park, and they walked through the baseball field to get a closer look at the fall foliage. Attendees also caught a glimpse of Wood’s Historic Grist Mill, a structure built in the 19th century. Families were led to a secluded picnic area in the park, vibrantly decorated to reflect the whimsical theme of the tea party.
“Our theme is get out, go, play, explore,” Corriere said. “Each of our parks has its own specialties, but Deep River County Park is really a nature park, one of the first in the area. I’m a huge supporter of getting kids outside, and this is a great way to do just that.”…
